Are you ready to earn free products while setting your own schedule? Do you love crafting??? Then Close To My Heart may be the right place for you. Right now is one of the best times to join. Why? (Yes, I knew you wanted to ask.) Starting April 1, you can become a part of the Close To My Heart family as an independent consultant for just $75! I would love to have you join my team.

But the fun doesn't stop there. With your $75, you will get the basics to start your business, but the best part is that you will also get a $50 voucher to purchase products from the catalogs that you feel will best suite your needs to meet the goals you set for your business.

Also if you join in April, you will receive the CTMH Cricut collection of your choice free when you reach $350 in sales in your first 30 days. Not interested in a cartridge? No problem! You can choose $100 in products instead.

Close To My Heart does a great job of keeping things low key. They welcome consultants who just want to craft for pleasure to consultants who are ready to build a solid business and everything in between. I fall in that "in between" category by the way.

Please check out this video and then contact me at djssundries@gmail.com and I would be happy to talk to you about joining my team. Don't forget to leave your phone number so I can give you a call. Like Close To My Heart, I am low key and would love to talk to you without adding pressure.

Still not sure about it? Close To My Heart is offering an webinar explaining their consultant services four different times in the month of April. I can help you arrange to attend to help answer questions you may have.

New babies are so much fun and I wanted to celebrate another one. This is a pretty simple card to finish once you have decided on the paper combination you will use. Be sure to check out Cheri's Close To My Heart OBA here - DJ's Sundries - Independent CTMH Consultant

Sometimes you need something cute that you can make in just a few minutes. These tags are perfect for that. Just grab some cute paper (I used "Seaside" from Close To My Heart which has been discontinued) and your Cricut and you are ready to go. Unfortunately, I forgot which Cricut cartridge I used to make these. Please watch the video and let me know if you have an answer to how to look up which cartridge you used on a project.

I have discovered that I really like fountain pens. In a recent haul video, I showed a couple of pens I had picked up from the Goulet Pen Company. You should check out their website here: http://www.gouletpens.com/ In this video, I show the pens I purchased and how they write.

My daughter recently celebrated her 21st birthday. I wanted to make a fun card, but not too juvenile. That's when I remembered the "Forever young" Cricut cartridge. Add this silhouette figure to the Close To My Heart Artfully Sent cartridge and you have a great little slider card.

Have you ever heard of a "golden birthday"? I can assure you that I hadn't until about a month ago when a friend's daughter celebrated hers. A golden birthday only happens once in a lifetime. It is celebrated when the date of your birth matches your age. This year my daughter celebrated her golden birthday when she turned 21 on March 21st.

Here's what you need to decorate your t-shirt:

Cricut iron on
Cricut with cartridges (I can't remember what I used)

I know that some of you do not like rub-ons. I actually like them a lot and can't believe I hadn't really thought about adding them to my planners and journals. They are so perfect for that because they add so little bulk. I really recommend that you go through your stash and find some old rub-ons to add to your planner lay-outs. You may just find a whole new love.

I love using my moleskine notebook for bullet journaling. I also might have a teeeeny tiiiiny problem with pen management. I just like them. Of course, I also want to know which ones work best in the moleskine, so I had to check them out.

Here's what I learned...

If you take the time to make a card for someone, you want it to be perfect for them, right? That is what I wanted with this card. I wanted something with pink, something simple, something with some sparkle, but no frilly stuff. I think I found the perfect solution.

There are times when you need a little whimsy in your life. This card is perfect for that. Why? Because it's such a cute little card. Plus, it's so versatile! You can use it for a note of encouragement, or even a birthday card. Adding a little paper to the inside of the envelope flap creates a special finishing touch.

I have a problem. Okay, so may I have a few problems, but one of those is the sheet amount of washi tape that I have stashed. I find that I don't use the bulk of it because most of it is in my craft room and I rarely use my planner or bullet journal in the craft room. One solution was to move the narrow washi into a zipper pouch to put into my planner carrier. That worked, but the rest of my stash (including the funnest printed ones) remained downstairs. Something had to change! This week's "quick tip" shows you my solution. I love it. I went out of town for a few hours this morning with my guys. I knew that I was going to have some time with my journals while I was gone and this solution meant I could take most of my washi with me. The best part? It took very little room to toss it in my bag. That's what I call a solution!

Oh Bullet Journal, where have you been all of my life? Seriously, this is such a great thing for me. I love seeing progress and things I need to work harder on. In this video, I update you on what's going on how they are working out.
